Re: 2nd Test Pakistan Vs. South Africa - Feb. 14, 2013, Newlands, Capetown RSA
yarr appreciate karo what we have…2 for 7 was not looking good…
this tuk tuk is just fine..consolidate consolidate…
plus appreciate the game strategically…if anything, this tuk tuk is buying us time…as i said in many posts, we NEED to take this game to day 5 hoping this wicket will be in bad shape by then…the wicket is still playing really well
we need SA to score at least 170+ runs on day 5 with no more than 6 or 7 wickets in hand…
we could have scored 160 today with 5 or 6 wickets down and then all out by lunch tomorrow scoring 250-270 or so…and SA would have chased most of this 250 on day 4 when the wicket would be still playing relatively fine…game over for Pak
so strategically, i would rather somehow linger on till tea tomorrow to get to that 250-270 number and then try to get 2 or 3 wickets in last session and then go to day 5…i suspect session after lunch on day 5 would be awesome and ajmal would be in full flow on a battling wicket…but we need to buy time to get there…
